CONGRATULATIONS to Maria Grazia Davino, the newly appointed Group Managing Director of the Stellantis UK team. She replaces Paul Willcox, effective 01 September, who has decided to retire from the group.
Maria is a highly experienced automotive professional. She joined the Fiat Group in 2011 before becoming successively the Managing Director of FCA Switzerland, CEO in Germany and then FCA Managing Driector for the Austrian region.
In 2021, Maria was appointed European Head of Sales and Marketing for the newly created Stellantis Group.
Stellantis comprises brands such as Fiat, Citroen, Peugeot and Vauxhall.
I am very pleased that with Maria Grazia Davino we have gained a proven industry expert for this position. She has many years of experience in international automotive sales and her expertise will ensure that Stellantis brands will continue to be successful in the important UK market. At the same time, I would like to thank Paul Willcox for the successful merger of the two existing legacies into a powerful national sales company that will be able to master the major challenges of the future. We are the number one in the UK in electric commercial vehicles and we want to further expand this strong position in the total market.
Paul Willcox (left) added: “Whilst I look forward to more time with my family and pastimes, I will be very sorry to leave such a dedicated and professional team as that I have in the UK. I warmly welcome Maria Grazia to the UK business where I know, from my experience in working with her, that she will make a significant contribution to the continued success of the business.”
